    Finished the windlass. Gears are from a micro servo. Most are plastic.

    Steamboat
  27. Ilhan Gokcay
    Boots almost finished. I used polystiren and pear strips.
  28. Ilhan Gokcay
    To get the keel (0,75x0,75mm plastic strip) straight I made a straight edge and glued the strip with polistyren glue. I have most problems with the frames and getting them aligned. After several failed attempts I made a plug/core of the boot and cut it at the intervals of the frames. So using these mould parts as a template I managed to fix the frames exactly aligned and square to the keel. I press the plastic strip (0.25x0.75mm) to the mould and let tiny drops of CA to penetrate at the side. One by one and step by step.

    Thanks shipman. It's polystyren sheet initially 0,75 mm thick. After forming it reduces appr. to 0,5 mm's.
  30. Ilhan Gokcay
    I've started to build the boats. There are 6 boats and they are all made of polystyren sheets with vacuum thermoforming.
  31. Ilhan Gokcay
    The last cabins.
  32. Ilhan Gokcay
    Skylight and companion at the back. Again acrylic, pear and brass.

    Thanks Eberhard, 1/75 is a very difficult scale for this ship. If it was 1/100, PE would be ok, but not at 1/75. It would look like a bit simple. On the other side if it was 1/50 it would be much easier to make these parts. I did not realized this in the beginning. So I'am struggling as best as I can.

About the NRG

If you enjoy building ship models that are historically accurate as well as beautiful, then The Nautical Research Guild (NRG) is just right for you.

The Guild is a non-profit educational organization whose mission is to “Advance Ship Modeling Through Research”. We provide support to our members in their efforts to raise the quality of their model ships.

The Nautical Research Guild has published our world-renowned quarterly magazine, The Nautical Research Journal, since 1955. The pages of the Journal are full of articles by accomplished ship modelers who show you how they create those exquisite details on their models, and by maritime historians who show you the correct details to build. The Journal is available in both print and digital editions. Go to the NRG web site (www.thenrg.org) to download a complimentary digital copy of the Journal. The NRG also publishes plan sets, books and compilations of back issues of the Journal and the former Ships in Scale and Model Ship Builder magazines.
